Moss signed with LSU June 5, 2017.

Pretty sure Washington and Pettigrew saw playing time in 2017.

Correct me if I’m wrong (and I’m not).

re: Watford commits to LSU

This is great news.

I grew up in Johnson City not far from Chattanooga. Wade was pretty popular I think people in Tennessee knew it was only a matter of time til he left.
no one said it was a colossal disaster. no one even said it was a slight disaster.

It is great Joseph is coming back, but you still have 5 of 19 freshmen who are leaving after one season.

I think one thing to take from this is this: the new transfer rules have made transferring more attractive to all players, whereas before freshmen may have waited at least until after their sophomore year to transfer. The rules are still brand new, so I don't think we can say for certain for another 3-4 years.

All that matters right now is Joseph is making the right decision to come back and the fans should be 100% behind him.
His father tweeted that out several hours before you even posted in here.

Were you sitting on that tweet in some feeble attempt of a gotcha moment?

I’m done talking to you. Life’s too short to engage people who are unhappy with their own lives.
I hope the new AD fires the guy responsible for that. Who was it again? Former head coach Les Miles?

Well, one last thing for the new AD to worry about.
He’s saying it’s addition by subtraction.

He’s not wrong but like you said he is missing the point. LSU used multiple scholarships on players who left after one season.

What would be even more damning would be to go see when the players who entered the portal committed, because if a player like Livingston or Cotton was committed in say, May or June of 2017, then it’s a scholarship used on a player that not only left after a year, but stunted any pursuit of another recruit at that position.

I have not checked to see when these players each committed so this is not something that I am trying to argue, just saying that is an aspect of recruiting to consider. I think the 2019 and 2020 classes show that Orgeron is trending up and the 2018 class may be an outlier.

What I don’t understand is why it’s so bad to say the 15th ranked class was a disappointment.

Losing two players who saw any playing time in an offseason is something to be happy about not miserable.


Then why do all 3 of your posts in here read like you are very unhappy?

Edit: You forgot Devin White. Although to be fair if White came back I’d have to wonder if he would be making the decision that is in his best interests.
Moss transferred from NC State before the 2017 season and sat out a year due to transfer rules. At the time, LSU had Moreau, Jacory Washington, Jamal Pettigrew, and Aaron Moffit. That is 4 scholarship TE's, with Moss being the 5th.

In what world is 4 scholarship TE's not enough that you are in need of a TE?

Don't go back and change your argument now. You said LSU needed a TE when LSU used a scholarship on him.

Though 2019 will probably have more starters than the 2018 class


You just admitted that the 2018 class is already surpassed by a class that doesn’t fully arrive on campus until next month.

We used a scholly on Moss. Why? We didn't have many TE at the time


This is not actually true.
This is the exact reason Cole Tracy sought to transfer here. To get exposure for the NFL.

Do you suggest he should have finished out his eligibility at Assumption College because of some sense of loyalty?

It's amazing how some like you immediately turn on the coach without knowing didley shitt yourself


Are we reading the same thread?

Because Joseph has so far, been accused of being :

1) too stupid to play
2) too high to play
3) too “gangster” to play

That is objectively worse than being critical of the head coach, the man who is paid millions of dollars, as opposed to the kid who gets free room and board and some sweet cleats and gloves.

I don’t like this current landscape of college football. Back in the day a player would commit to represent the university whether they played a lot or not. Seems like college football is merely an NFL developmental league and players just want playing time and no school loyalty.



Really breaks my heart to see people talk about Joe Burrow like this. Guy is a leader on and off the field.


Oh wait, that post was about Kelvin Joseph? My bad.
